i never hunted christmas day before but,
i was out in the afternoon. 3:00 till dark. i heard atleast 5 shots,and saw 2 squirrels. i shot the first 1. little bugger was heading right for me. i put up and fired fast. not sure if i shut my eye or even looked down the barrel.
i hit it and the log it was on. blew it back 5 feet. sad thing is i blew bark up into its belly and face. tore it up too bad and it was, well it was nasty [eek]. too close a range with too tight of a choke,had mod in instead of imp. cyl. it was so close i could've used cyl. bore.
the 2nd i saw after i moved a little further into the woods,no more than 15 minutes after shooting. it did'nt get come into the clear for a shot.
